KGT 100:  if a dish comes with a sauce, it is appropriate to use as much or as little sauce as one desires.

On the IKV Rotarran, Ch'Targ poured almost an entire bottle of *grapok* sauce onto Alexander's *bregit* lung, saying that it "brings out the flavor." (DS9 "Soldiers of the Empire")

Apparently the *trigak*, a predatory animal with sharp teeth, also goes nicely with {gha'poq}. (KRAD: Honor Bound, A Good Day to Die, et al.)
